    Roller coaster of emotions, from frustration to hope to infuriation to orgasmic Buffalo experience, DWhite is back, 4th quarter Tatum is back, KP is soon to be back. League fucked.

  3. aja_ramirez

    Slept walked through a lot of the game, but turned it on at the end. Led of course by The Buffalo! I’ll take every win we can get.

  5. Vuish

    First, second, and third quarter Derrick White: ZZZ

    Fourth quarter Derrick White: REAL SHIT

  6. chickspeak

    derrick white being DERRICK WHITE again!!!!!!!!! Let him ROAM!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. MPLooza

    I cannot overstate how much I fucking love Derrick White

  8. Sporothrix

    I’m feeling good about playoff Tatum after this one.

  9. HailKyrie

    That is why you shoot the fucking 3 doomers. Tatum and White carried down the stretch

  11. Kshpew

    fuck every doomer none of you know basketball this team is legit and always will be

  12. TheDudestofBurgers

    Fucking love games where the Jays lead great comebacks. Proving that winning mentality.

  15. Brad-Stevens

    Trust in 9

    Trust in 0

    Trust in 7

    Trust in 42

    Trust in 4

    Trust in this team

  18. AcrobaticFeedback

    Another impressive clutch win that the doomers will conveniently forget about when we lose our next close game.

  21. Run_PBJ

    Derrick white is MY daddy. Derrick white is YOUR daddy. Derrick white is the ENTIRE NBA’S DADDY

  22. Insidestr8

    Derrick White is not the most talented player on this team. He is the most clutch and mentally tough of the bunch. He is the main reason (but not the only one) we came back in the second half.

  25. BuddhistInTheory

    We needed this win more than we needed a humbling loss. Celtics basketball is back, baby! We are truly spoiled.

  26. Full-Flight-5211

    Brown with 7 assists and 0 turnovers, magical

  27. PapaSheev7

    Good comeback win and glad to snap the home losing streak, but they really need to get their turnovers as a team under control, JT with 7 alone, yikes. All in all, can’t be too upset about getting a strong comeback win against a good team

  29. Virgil_hawkinsS

    Love Buffalo but Jrue should’ve gotten POTG imo. Guy was locked in from start to finish

  30. avrbiggucci

    Feels like the best win of year even though it was against an inferior team.

    Down 2 big men with things not going our way all night and they still managed to keep it close and make an incredible run in the 4th where they made all the right plays and simply played with more heart. Incredible win.

  31. BradWonder

    Missed the whole game, saw the 4th quarter deficit, but never in doubt of course. Time to beat Indiana + refs tomorrow!

  32. paicer96

    JT’s defense down the stretch there was awesome! Probably our best defender the entirety of that 4th quarter.

  33. HeavenBeach777

    MVP tonight is Oshae, completely changed the energy of the game, we looked dead in the 1st quarter

  35. jjjkd18

    As soon as White hit one, he was destined to hit 4 more. And that’s the ball game 

  38. lefebrave

    I wrote a lot in the game thread about the game but my conclusion here is you don’t know how to watch a game. This game changed multiple times: First quarter, bad defense, giving up too many easy looks. We corrected it in the second and this was a game. İn the third, Coach went on a high intensity defense and fasten the game through JB which worked. Then a bad stretch but we come back alive especially by not giving matchups to Ingram, making them work for everything and get the ball to move it as we like. AND ALL THE WHILE ALL COMMENTS WERE ABOUT 3pt shooting. Stop watching box score and watch the game every now and then because it is fun, this team is fun too.

  40. _---__________---_

    Derrick White is an ALL-STAR, don’t let nobody tell you otherwise

  41. CrackaZach05

    Fucking weird by the Pelicans to keep fouling down 9 with under 20 seconds.

  43. SpicyGibbs

    I swear the doomers wanted us to lose this game just to validate themselves

  44. thumbsup_baby

    Derrick White is Chauncey Billups and Isaiah Thomas combined: King Big Shot of the Fourth.

  45. danorcs

    The game thread is unbelievably toxic for a comeback win by the top team in the NBA

  47. jjjuuubbbsss

    Props to Jrue. He’s crucial in keeping us in the game all night.

  48. Squishy-Bandit12

    We still got some work to do, but hard fought win

  49. Top-Peach1740

    Here to comment after visiting the game thread at halftime. Fucking doomers are unbearable I swear.

    “This team is a 2nd round exit without KP”
    “We have no offense without KP”
    “The guys are lazy and don’t want to get to the rim”

    There’s 82 games. Chill out. People don’t understand how good they have it. Go C’s.
